ASX RELEASE-16 April 2021

Aircore Drill Results Validate Bullseye Nickel Prospectivity

  • The Company completed a 22-hole, early stage, aircore drilling program at the Bullseye nickel target within the Company’s Lake Johnston Project, 120km west of Norseman, in December 2020

  • Bullseye is characterised by a distinctive, 2.5km wide, ovoid-shaped high amplitude aeromagnetic anomaly, which is interpreted by the Company to represent a mafic or ultramafic intrusion

  • Assessment of the results from the drill holes on two traverses drilled across the interpreted Bullseye anomaly has reinforced the prospectivity of the target area, with promising shallow nickel intersections in ultramafic rocks, including:

  • 27m at 0.40% Ni & 0.02% Co from 16m in hole LKJA005 including 12m at 0.46% Ni & 0.02% Co from 16m

  • 8m at 0.72% Ni & 0.09% Co from 8m in hole LKJA018 including 4m at 1.04% Ni & 0.15% Co from 8m

  • 18m at 0.32% Ni & 0.01% Co from 8m in hole LKJA020

  • Reinterpretation of the recent and previous drilling with geophysical data by Lefroy suggests the broad magnetic feature may represent a buried ultramafic intrusion that has potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation

  • The Company has applied for an additional Exploration Licence to adjoin the Bullseye prospect and strengthen its land position in the Lake Johnston area

  • Planning of the next phase of exploration activity is underway. This will include aircore drilling and ground geophysical surveys to further map the extent of the ultramafic rocks

Lefroy Exploration Managing Director Wade Johnson said “we are excited by the results generated from our maiden drill program at the Bullseye target in our Lake Johnston project. It is especially pleasing to deliver promising results after targeting the area based on the coincident magnetic feature and previous nickel intercepts from drilling in 1997 that was never followed up. Bullseye adds to the growing pipeline of earlystage generative drill targets at Lake Johnston. We will schedule more drilling in Q3/21 at Bullseye to map out the prospective ultramafic rocks in our search for Ni sulphide mineralisation ”

ASX Announcement 16 April 2021

Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results from our early stage 22-hole aircore (AC) drilling program which evaluated the Bullseye nickel target in the Company’s Lake Johnston Project, located approximately 120km west of Norseman. The program was completed in December 2020, and the drill data has now been interrogated with the results from petrological investigation of discovered rock types.

The Lake Johnston Project comprises two granted Exploration Licenses (E63/1722 & 1723) held under title by Lefroy and one granted Exploration License (E63/1777) held by Lithium Australia NL (ASX:LIT). These holdings form a cohesive package covering in excess of 250km[2] over the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt (Figure 1). Lefroy holds the rights for gold (Au), nickel (Ni), and all other precious and base metals not associated with pegmatites on the package under a Tenement Rights Agreement executed with LIT in 2016.

The Project is considered prospective for both gold and nickel, as it covers the northern strike extension to the Maggie Hayes and Emily Ann nickel mines held by Poseidon Nickel Limited (“Poseidon”). Lake Johnston was host to the Emily Ann Mine which averaged a resource grade of 4.1% Ni and produced 46,000tonnes of nickel (refer Poseidon ASX release 26 September 2018).

ASX Announcement 16 April 2021

The Company completed the AC drilling at Bullseye to follow up previous shallow nickel drill intercepts and to gain a better appreciation of the underlying geology associated with a large ovoid shaped aeromagnetic anomaly (Figures 1 & 2) designated Bullseye.

Bullseye was recognised by two previous explorers with both interpreting it to be a raft of greenstone considered to be prospective for gold (Figure 2). Samantha Exploration NL drilled a single northsouth line of drill holes (prefixed RQ) in 1988 but did not analyse for nickel (refer WAMEX item a27056). Goldfields Exploration Pty Ltd drilled a single east-west orientated line of RAB holes (prefixed RTRB) in 1997 near the southern margin of the magnetic anomaly (refer WAMEX item a54574). That phase of drilling intersected promising nickel values in the regolith which were never followed up. Better results from that program included:

  • 18m at 0.46% Ni from 20m in RTRB16 including 4m at 0.58% Ni from 24m

  • 9m at 0.48% Ni from 4m in RTRB 24 including 4m at 0.68% Ni from 8m

  • 16m at 0.24% Ni from 12m in RTRB 13

  • 16m at 0.26% Ni from 12m in RTRB 12

Re-evaluation of the Bullseye target by the Company has involved compilation of prior exploration data, ground reconnaissance and integration with geophysical data sets and this process has highlighted an alternative model to explain the distinctive aeromagnetic feature. The Company interprets the anomaly to be a mafic or ultramafic rock that represent an intrusive body, which is supported by the relatively high nickel values from the prior drilling.

Mafic or ultramafic intrusions can be large hosts for Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation that occur as basal accumulations in embayment’s on or near the basal margins of the intrusion. Bullseye has had little if any drilling that has focused on a magmatic intrusion model and remains under explored.

The Company completed (Figure 2) a 22-hole air core drill program In December 2020 to evaluate the mafic/ultramafic intrusion model and validate the prior shallow nickel intersections. The two existing Samantha-Goldfields drill lines were used to facilitate access.

The new vertical drill holes were spaced at nominal 160m centres on each line, then closed to 80m in zones of interest (e.g., LKJA017,018,019 020). The AC holes ranged in depth from 12m to 70m with an average depth of 32m. Planned drill holes relative to the previous drilling are depicted on Figure 2. The aircore drilling technique is an effective early-stage drilling method to quickly cover large areas typically testing the shallow oxide zone and providing geochemical samples from the regolith. The holes typically terminate (end of hole or EOH) at or near the fresh rock interface.

The significant nickel and cobalt (Co) results from the drilling are highlighted in Table 1. These anomalous Ni and Co results are from ultramafic rocks and have been further supported by petrological examination. The new results support or improve on results from the earlier drilling. The higher tenor nickel results (e.g., LKJA018) come from the south east corner of the exploration licence, where the ultramafic rocks are interpreted to be in close proximity (~500m) to an easterly trending dolerite dyke which may have a genetic relationship to the ultramafic rocks at Bullseye.

ASX Announcement 16 April 2021

==> picture [407 x 338] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 Grey scale aeromagnetic image of Bullseye with prior and completed drilling highlighted. The new tenement application E63/2763 is also shown.

Interpretation by the Company of the recent and past drill information with geophysical datasets suggests that the ultramafic rocks are more extensive than earlier interpretations. The ovoid shaped Bullseye magnetic anomaly has an approximate 4km x2km footprint with only a very limited portion having been evaluated by drilling to date. The Company interprets that the magnetic anomaly is due to ultramafic rocks which are, related to a mafic or ultramafic intrusion.

Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusions can be hosts for substantial Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation occurring as basal accumulations in embayments on or near the basal margins of the intrusion. The Bullseye area has had little if any drilling focused on a magmatic intrusion model and is considered by the Company to be under explored.

The recognition of an alternative geological model at Bullseye combined with the strengthened Ni prospectivity supported the Company’s decision to apply for an Exploration Licence (E63/2673) adjoining the Bullseye tenement (E63/1723). This new tenement also covers the east-west dolerite dyke (Figure 2) interpreted by the Company to be related to the Bullseye anomaly.

ASX Announcement 16 April 2021

Next Steps

The next stage of exploration at Bullseye will involve further aircore drilling to scope out and confirm the extent of the ultramafic rocks interpreted from geophysical data. In tandem with that activity additional geophysical (gravity & magnetics) surveys will be designed to assist with drill targeting. This work is expected to commence in the September quarter of 2021.

Completion of that phase of exploration will then provide a base to design and undertake ground EM surveys over confirmed ultramafic and or mafic rocks to seek conductors that may represent accumulations of Ni -Cu sulphide mineralisation.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report – Lake Johnston Project-Bullseye Aircore Drilling April 2021 SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA


April 2021
SECTION1:

SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure
of detailed information.


The sampling noted in this release has been
carried out using Aircore (AC) drilling at the
Bullseye prospect. The AC program comprised
22 vertical AC holes for 715m. The holes were
drilled on a single east west and single north
south line with holes at 80-160m centres

Sampling and QAQC protocols as per industry
best practice with further details below.

AC samples were collected from the cyclone at
1m intervals and laid out in rows of 10, 15 or
20m (10-20 samples) on the ground. Composite
4m samples were then collected by scoop
sampling the 1m piles with a flour scoop to
produce a bulk 2-3kg sample which was sent to
the Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Perth for
analysis. Samples were dried, pulverised, split
to produce a 40g sample for analysis by fire
assay with Au, Pt, Pd determination by ICP-AES,
Cr & Mn by mixed acid digest with ICP-AES, and
As, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn by mixed acid digest
and ICP-MS finish.
Drilling techniques • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).


The Aircore (AC) drilling was completed by
Challenge Drilling (Kalgoorlie). The AC drill bit
has a diameter of 78mm and collects samples
through an inner tube to reduce contamination,
but also allows better penetration through any
palaeochannel puggy clays and fine sands.
Aircore drilling is blade refusal and hence
terminates in fresh or hard material such as
quartz. In certain circumstances a hammer drill
bit was used to obtain greater penetration in
hard rock to obtain a fresh rock sample.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

Most of the samples collected from the AC drill
program were dry. Minor AC samples were wet
at the base of the holes, any wet samples were
placed in a small hand dug hole in the ground
within
the
sample
site
and
lined
with
newspaper.

Sample recovery size and sample condition (dry,
wet, moist) recorded. Recovery of samples
estimated to be 80-100%

Drilling with care (eg. clearing hole at start of
rod,
regular
cyclone
cleaning)
if
water
encountered to reduce incidence of wet –sticky
sample and cross contamination.

Insufficient sample population to determine
whether relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade. The quality of the sample
(wet, dry, low recovery) was recorded during
logging.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

Detailed logging of, regolith, lithology, structure,
mineralisation and recoveries recorded in each
hole by qualified geologist.

Logging carried out by sieving 2m composite
sample cuttings, washing in water and the
entire hole collected in plastic chip trays for
future reference.

Every hole was logged for the entire length.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.


No core drilling completed

Composite samples of 4m were collected by
scoop sampling 1m intervals into pre-numbered
calico bags. Sample weight 1.5 - 2 kg. The last
interval of each hole is a 1m sample and the
second last composite can vary between 1-4m.
Collected composite samples placed in large
brown paper bags for despatch to assay
laboratory. Composite samples with anomalous
nickel grades will be resampled to individual 1m
samples by sampling residual drill spoil

The sample preparation of the AC follows
industry best practice, involving oven drying,
pulverising, to produce a homogenous sub
sample for analysis.

Along with composite samples, standards and
blanks were randomly inserted (approximately
every 20 samples) and were included in the
laboratory analysis. Standards were certified
reference material prepared by Geostats Pty
Ltd.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether
the technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie
lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Aircore samples were analysed for Au by 40g
fire assay with an ICP-AES finish and for a
multielement suite by either ICP-MS or ICP-AES
following a four acid digest. These assay
methods are considered appropriate

No geophysical tools, spectrometers or hand
held XRF instruments used.

Quality control process and internal laboratory
checks demonstrate acceptable levels of
accuracy. At the laboratory regular assay
repeats, lab standards, checks and blanks are
analysed. Laboratory runs and reposts a quartz
flush at the commencement of the sample
batch.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

The results have been reviewed by alternative
company personnel and minor sampling errors
identified were field checked and corrected.

No holes were twinned.

Capture of field logging is electronic using
Toughbook hardware and Maxwells Logchief
software. Logged data is then exported as an
excel spreadsheet to the Company’s external
database managers which will be loaded to the
Company’s DATASHED database and validation
checks completed to ensure data accuracy.
Assay files are received electronically from the
laboratory by the Managing Director and filed to
the Company’s server.

There has been no adjustment to the assay data.
The primary Au field reported by the laboratory
is the value used for plotting, interrogating, and
reporting.
Location of data
points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.


Drill hole positions were surveyed using a hand
held Garmin GPS with a horizontal (Easting
Northing) accuracy of +-5m. Drill azimuth is set
up by the supervising geologist. No downhole
surveys completed.

Grid System – MGA94 Zone 51.

Topographic elevation captured by using
reading from Garmin hand held GPS with an
accuracy of+-10m and considered suitable for
the flat terrain.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Data spacing and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient
to establish the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
•Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Hole centres were spaced at 80m or 160m
centres on each of the traverses drilled

AC samples composite range 1-4m but generally
4m. No assay compositing has been applied.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the deposit
type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

• The two drill traverses are reconnaissance and
designed to follow up and validate the historical
drilling
and
advance
the
geological
understanding in this area
• The AC drilling is reconnaissance in nature,
being relatively wide spaced and the orientation
of the ultramafic rocks is yet to be confirmed
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Individual composite samples were bagged in
plastic bags, collected and personally delivered
to the Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Kalgoorlie
by the LEX Field Supervisor.

Bureau Veritas check the samples received
against the LEX submission form to notify of any
missing or extra samples. Following analysis the
sample pulps and residues are retained by the
laboratory in a secure storage yard.
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

The Managing Director was present at the drill
satire for the entire drill program. The MD
undertook the sampling. No specific site audits
or reviews have been conducted by independent
parties.

drilled a single east-west orientated drill line
(Holes prefixed RTRB) of RAB holes in 1997 near
the southern margin of the magnetic anomaly
(refer WAMEX item a54574). That phase of
drilling intersected promising nickel values in
the regolith but was never followed up
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The geology of the Lake Johnston Project is well
documented in the Independent Geologists
report contained within the Lefroy Exploration
Limited Prospectus dated 6 September 2016.

Re-evaluation of the Bullseye target by the
Company involving data compilation, ground
reconnaissance and integration with geophysical
data sets has highlighted an alternative model to
explain the distinctive aeromagnetic feature.
The Company interprets the anomaly to
represent a mafic or ultramafic intrusive body
which is supported by the relatively high nickel
values from the prior drilling.
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
• easting and northing of the drill hole collar
• elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
• dip and azimuth of the hole
• down hole length and interception depth
• hole length.
Refer to the Table of drill hole collars in the body
of the report

No Information has been excluded.

There are historical drill holes within the
Bullseye Prospect and these are depicted on
the drill hole plan in the announcement.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material
and this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
Data aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Individual sample assays and weighted
averages are presented

No metal equivalent values or formulas
used.
Relationship between
mineralisation
widths and intercept
lengths
• These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect(eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).


All results are based on down-hole metres.

Given the wide spaced reconnaissance nature
of the drilling the geometry of the
mineralisation reported is not sufficiently
known and the true width is not known
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported. These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Appropriate summary diagrams are included
in this announcement.
Balanced reporting • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

• Significant individual assay results are provided
in Table 1 for the recent LEX drill program.
• Drill holes with no significant results are not
reported.
• Significant assay results from historical drilling
are noted in the text and figures in the report.
Other substantive
exploration data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

Supporting exploration data are included
within the announcement and are detailed in
the Lefroy Exploration Limited prospectus
dated
6
September
2016
within
the
Independent Geologist’s Report.
Further work • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.

Further work has been noted in the body of
the announcement.
